Low Total Cost of Ownership

Today, laboratories are undergoing a transformation—they are seeking to increase operational efficiency to drive down costs and enhance clinical effectiveness to improve patient care. The Beckman Coulter chemistry platform delivers low total cost of ownership supported by proven uptime, scalability and use of fewer consumables. Improved clinical effectiveness and patient care are achieved through a broad menu offering of Six-Sigma quality assays and consistent high rankings in reliability and service.

SPECIALIZED ASSAYS FOR IMPROVED PATIENT CARE

Procalcitonin*† (PCT) assay is intended for the quantitative determination of PCT in human serum, EDTA or lithium heparin plasma. Measurement of PCT in conjunction with other laboratory findings and clinical assessments aids in the risk assessment of critically ill patients on their first day of ICU admission for progression to severe sepsis and septic shock.

8.5-minute assay measure time

Ready-to-use, liquid reagents

Reagent kit, calibrator and control sets offered separately

The PCT assay has been FDA CLIA categorized as Moderate Complexity for use on Beckman Coulter's AU480, AU680, AU5800 and DxC 700 AU chemistry analyzers.
